The directions state : "The mode flag must be either "server", indicating the server program must run, "alone", indicating standalone mode, or left out entirely, in which case the network client and gui must run. " Question: Am I to assume that if the flag is left out entirely that I must start the server AND network client, or just the network client and assume they have started the server.

I assumed that the server was already started. You don't really know where the server will be (though the network client will have to figure this out). Moreover, you might start several network clients - and I don't think you'd want multiple servers started. ms
